Author: Yu Shinan in Tang Dynasty
Hang _ drink clear dew and flow out sparse tung.
Cicada is far away from cicada because cicada is on a tall tree, not relying on autumn wind.
Cicada hangs down its tassel-like tentacles and sucks the sweet dew. The continuous chirping comes from the sparse branches of phoenix tree. Cicada's voice can spread far because of its height, not by the power of autumn wind.

1. Didi _ Drink Clear Dew
Ancient people needed a rope to fix their hats. We call this rope a hat band, and "_" is the drooping part of the hat band. Because "_" hangs under the skull, it is called "hanging _". Cicada is similar to a pendant, so the pendant here is actually a metaphor of cicada.
"Drinking clear dew" is the habit of cicada, which means clear water. There is a pun here, implying a lofty person.
Therefore, nobility and innocence are not contradictory, and these two precious qualities are unified in cicada. This is the same as "no mud, no demon".
2. Flowing sparse paulownia
The "flow" of cicada sound has three meanings: first, it refers to the melodious sound; Second, it refers to the distance it penetrates and broadcasts; Three fingers sounds good.
Tung tree points out the habitat of cicadas, and "sparse" describes the thick branches of tung tree.
Step 3 talk from a distance
Tung trees are tall trees, so they are "tall". "High" can "sound far". This is similar to "once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that all the other mountains look short under the sky." .
4. It was not blown by the autumn wind
The words "borrow" and "borrow" here tell us that cicadas sing far without the help of foreign objects, and its deep meaning is that the most important thing for honest officials is innocence, not manipulating power to dominate.
Yu Shinan is the "twenty-four outstanding figure of Lingyange". Emperor Taizong said that he had five unique qualities: virtue, loyalty, erudition, literature and prose, and was named the son of the king of Yongxing County. Let's pay tribute to this great historical figure!
